BYU with another possibly huge NLI deal...

[Maroon Eagle]

One thing I wonder is what is the minimum amount here:

Every female student-athlete at #BYU will receive up to $6,000 from a new NIL opportunity presented by a Provo-based company. @BYUCougars #GoCougs https://t.co/vp3AXALwe4— KSL Sports (@kslsports) September 21, 2021

Nepotism. Mormons keeping it in the family.

My biggest question is, how the hell is this NIL? This is NIL of the school, not the athletes, and that should be illegal in my opinion. Especially if it's going to be a perpetual thing.

Imagine replacing the word female with male. ..You'd have a fight on your hands.

There's a company that's going to give our baseball players 10 grand each

and has plans for other entire team rosters. This is no different.

Actually 10K is the minimum. It could be more.

I think it depends on the brand. If it's a company that specializes in female clothing or sandwich making, you'd be fine.

Welcome to the new world of college athletics. Who can organize and pool the most NIL money for their players in each sport? That's the new task.

Mormons have money for days. Why or how? Maybe someone else can answer that.

I know of two members of the Mormon church or temple in Hattiesburg. One, a family that I’ve seen discussed here, is the wealthiest family in the state and is highly regarded by everyone and are very nice people. The other, was at the head of one of the cream scheme groups, among other scams and I guess is in prison now.

Funny that you got 3 downvotes.

I bet all 3 of them would ***** if it were “males”.

 

[paindonthurt_]

So 2 out of the church are rich? I’m guessing some in the church aren’t rich. Some might even be “poor”.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

It’s not that they’re all wealthy, it’s that the LDS is Anti-Debt.

An example: The state of Utah has made use of rainy day money to fund higher education largely because: 1. The LDS is based in Salt Lake City & 2. They hate debt, which means that Utah has the lowest Student Debt in the nation.

Some lucky guy is going to marry several of those girls.

 

[FlotownDawg]

No, we’re just tired of some people inserting politics into every single 17ing thread.

 

[Xenomorph]

Well.. this one has politics AND religion.. so it’s extra crispy.

So? That still doesn't make it right. Just doesn't seem like NIL for Joe Q. Player to me. Sounds like NIL for MSU players, with the key word being "MSU". That's not what NIL is supposed to be about.
